Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for recognizing an object in a door opening of a vehicle, if in a sensor system a received signal from a setpoint deviates, a vehicle reaction is triggered.
  • Suitable device in which the elastic profile is hollow and the signal travels along in the cavity thus formed.
  • a transmitter and a receiver on opposite sides are used for this Ends of the cavity.
  • Suitable signals are Ultrasound or electromagnetic waves, in particular Light.
  • the invention has for its object a method for Detection of an object in a door opening of a vehicle as well as to evaluate the measurements to indicate the reliable also detect very thin jammed objects allow.
  • permanent changes to the Door edge e.g. Dirt particles or a wrong one Door leaf closed position does not cause a vehicle reaction to lead.
  • messages should be ignored that on a jammed object or a jammed one Instruct the person if the door in question is not shortly before has been closed.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention in that closed door after starting an updated setpoint is determined.
  • a vehicle response occurs only in a period of time between closing the door and ending a custom selected period triggered with the next start of the vehicle after closing the door starts.
  • a calibration process is carried out the power of a transmitter from an evaluation unit the sensor system changes continuously until the received Signal has a desired quality. This received signal then serves as a setpoint.
  • the invention provides that after the door during a holding period has been closed by at least a customized period of time after that Stopping time following the next start of the vehicle, the sensor system is deactivated by the evaluation unit and after will be activated again in a short time Calibration process a determination of an updated Trigger setpoint.
  • the setpoint is the state that changes after the start-up phase while driving, as the target state Doors scored. So permanent changes are advantageous like wear on the doors or sticky Foreign bodies on the door are no longer registered and can do not lead to false reports.
  • the signal is, for example, one that runs in a cavity Wave, the cavity being in an elastic Profile is located, which limits the closing surface of the door opening.
  • a cavity is a particularly suitable place to propagate a signal that is a jamming situation should recognize.
  • a jammed object namely the elastic profile is deformed and the cavity becomes narrows.
  • the transmitter and receiver of the sensors are in the cavity, for example aligned obliquely to the longitudinal axis.
  • the signals arrive with the cavity unchanged after multiple reflections the boundary wall of the cavity from the transmitter to the receiver. Even a small change in the shape of the boundary wall due to a jammed object changes the signal curve and does not let the signals go completely to the receiver reach. This makes the process particularly sensitive and can reliably handle very thin jammed objects detect.
  • the signal is an ultrasound signal and that The material of the profile can reflect sound waves.
  • the signal consists of electromagnetic Waves, for example of light, and the material of the profile can reflect such electromagnetic waves.
  • the evaluation unit is connected, for example, via a bus Power control transmitter connected.
  • the abscissa is the time axis.
  • J stands for "yes” or “applicable” and N stands for "No” or “Not applicable”.
  • the first course 1 shows whether the door is closed.
  • the second Course 2 shows whether the vehicle is running. Shown in the second Time period is the vehicle and within it At times, the door is temporarily open. Always when the door was open during the stop is a custom one selected period 3.
  • the third course 4 indicates any event that is a pinching operation could be in the door. You are also on it, for example attributed to people opening the door and while driving especially touch the elastic profile on the door.
  • the fourth course 5 shows which events of the third Course 4 lead to a vehicle reaction being triggered becomes.
  • This vehicle reaction can only be a signal to the vehicle driver , but it can also be, especially with one driverless operation of a subway, mean that the drive is switched off.
  • Such a vehicle reaction is only at open door and then until start-up and moreover for a customer-specific period of time 3 after starting authorized. This time period 3 is in the second course 2 to see.
  • Door profiles particularly suitable for carrying out the method 8 and 9 are shown in Figure 2. These elastic profiles 8 and 9 are assigned to two doors. Close these doors by pressing the two profiles 8 and 9 together. It can be tilting doors or sliding doors act.
  • the first elastic profile 8 has on its end face a recess 10, in the area of which a molding 11 of the second profile 9 is present when the doors are closed.
  • a molding 11 of the second profile 9 is present when the doors are closed.
  • a vertical cavity 12 In the Formation 11 is a vertical cavity 12.
  • a transmitter 13 and a are in this cavity 12 Receiver 14 for electromagnetic waves arranged.
  • the cavity 12 is shown schematically as the inside of a Cylinder shown.
  • the transmitter 13 is located there in the upper area of the cavity 12. Waves emanate from the transmitter 13 from that on the inner surface of the cavity 12 several times be reflected until they reach the receiver 14. Already due to a slight deformation of the cavity 12 by an object jammed between the profiles 8 and 9 becomes the reflection of the electromagnetic wave changed and there is only a weakened signal at the receiver 14 received.
  • the transmitter 13 and the receiver 14 are connected to an evaluation unit 15 in which the received Signal is compared with a current setpoint.
